CSA Box Week 3

CSA Box Week 3

I was really excited about this week's box for two main reasons:

1) Citrus!

2) Romanesco!

That's right - the farm that organizes the CSA grows satsuma oranges, which are very sweet, easy to peel mandarin oranges. The three large navel oranges are from another farm. And Romanesco (which I requested as a substitution for radicchio via email), is that pointy green thing in the bottom left, a cross between a broccoli and cauliflower. It can look grotesque, but when it's so tiny it looks really cute.

In all, here were the contents:

- Romanesco

- 3 heads lettuce

- 1 curly kale (ruffly leaf, the Dutch boerenkool)

- 1 dinosaur kale (bumpy leaf)

- mixed chard

- 2 big leeks

- carrots

- satsuma oranges

- 3 mandarin oranges

- 2 Bosc pears

- 1 head of purple cabbage

- 1 small butternut squash
